TRIGGER*graphic mention of blood*

My reality checks.

First off, does the situation make sense. For me, blood dripping down off of tree leaves or
out of the wall was a common hallucination. Obviously, that situation doesn't make sense.
If it defy's "the laws of physics" is another practical application of this.

Secondly, is any one else around me reacting to it. If comfortable you can ask someone (ex. Do you hear that), or just pay attention to how others react. When I saw blood dripping down someones face (more logical than wall) if no one else was saying anything about it or showing any reaction to it, chances are I was the only one seeing it.

Thirdly, does it fit with other memories. Examples: If there has never been a random mirage like hole in my floor, chances are there isn't one now. If I've never owned a cat and all of a sudden I see one up on the shelf in my house, chances are... If everytime I see someone he is very nice and all of a sudden he's saying horrible things (and I haven't done anything bad) chances are...

Those help me some. The third, especially, helps me determine if my dreams actually happened or not.

I understand that some people believe that we can just sense things that most others cannot, but obviously, this is not meant for that.
